A new Italian restaurant is coming to Warner Robins. Christian Torres is planning to open a second location of his Tifton-based, family-owned Fresco Italiano restaurant. He described the restaurant as casual fine dining. “We want to be that neighborhood place where you can still go during the week and get a plate of lasagna and get a plate of pasta, and then, if you want to dress up on the weekends and get a steak or have a date night there, then you can do that too.”

Torres places an emphasis on quality food and on ambiance, planning to transform the soon-to-be former Ole Times Country Buffet location at 1208 Russell Parkway with a remodel. Ole Times is relocating to the former Golden Corral outside the Houston County Galleria in Centerville.
